Miracle' Or 'Misconception'?

August 26, 1988|The Morning Call

To the Editor:

"Massachusetts Miracle" indeed! I wish to urge you to investigate the so-called Dukakis "misconception."

Dukakis is succeeding in bluffing the voters and the press with a success story that, in fact, does not exist. Ex-Gov. King brought Massachusetts back to fiscal solvency after a disastrous first term of the Dukakis administration. King set up the machinery for economic prosperity, and Dukakis sleazily worked his way back into office (with the bag of tricks of "ex"- campaign manager Sasso) to claim all the credit. I lived in Massachusetts during that time.

There are plenty of us from Massachusetts who will never forget and want to spread the word outside the commonwealth so that the nation will not be carried away by the governor's arrogance and hypocrisy. And keep an eye on "ex" Sasso. He's still pulling the strings from the back room.
